Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book began as an article published in 1775, against a backdrop of increasingly brazen daytime break-ins and a night-time populace terrified to leave their homes for fear of robbery or worse. The author suggests prison reform and police reorganization to encourage public confessions, reduce the number of robberies, and ultimately restore order and peace of mind to the citizens of London. In addition to its historical relevance to the study of criminology and policing, this book underlines the enduring importance of civic duty and communal safety. The author believed that without a populace invested in holding criminals to account and supporting law and order, and without a police force that was equally active by day and by night, the bonds of society would fray and the public would live in fear.
